Hi dbalex
My applications :

1. Skechtup - 80 % of my working time
2. AutoCAD / Revit 5%
3. Photoshop/Indesign (CS6)5 %
4. MS Office 5 %
5. Other 5 %
   No Gaming
   In the future i would like to focus also on rendering (lumion)

My main concern is a stabel System and Speed.
In terms of Budget something between 1700-2000 € seems to be reasonabel.
As far as i know skp is still singelthreaded - which CPU will do best ?

Hello there,
I need to speed up my PC in order to get work done faster.

any recommendations in terms of Motherboard/CUP/Graphic Card/Memory/Storage ....??

Hello Sketchers,
I am still struggling with the 45° shadows on elevations.
I tried to use north angel animator or north angel tool - the results are not stable and Layout has a hard time to update the shadows as created in SU
Jim Foltz once work out the north angel animator. I ask him for an update but unfortunately he doesn't work on plugins any more. But he aloud to work and improve on the tool.
Anybody out there who would like to work on an Tool update ?

Hi Tig
I still use your tool quieted a bit. thanks again for the good work.
I am just wondering if SU 2018 allows to improve the tool in order to save 45° shadow settings to individual Scenes?
That would be a it !!
thanks for looking into it
Uli

Hi TIG,
thanks for your great help.
This will make thinks a whole lot easier.
I Understand that manual changes are lost - it happens quite often that my model isn't quiet the way it should be, and so I have to fix some geometry.
On the other hand, it would be nice, if changes of materials/colors could stay as they are.
Impossible ?
Thanks for looking into it.
Uli

Hi TIG, thanks for this great tool which I use quite often.
I guess we all spend most of our time changing/altering.
Unfortunately the setting"automatic update" slows my System down tremendously.
Would it be possible to update the section cut on demand ?
That would be really helpful.
Thanks for looking into it

Hi Max,
I tried the updated Standard Toolbar "hide rest of the Model" as well as "Isolated/Restore Selected"tool work well excellent work.
Thanks a lot for looking into it - I appreciate
Uli

Thanks Max. I miss this wonderful gadget every day.
I appreciate
Uli.

Hello there,
I frequently use Cadfathers JHS Standard Toolbar
Since installing SU 2018 I experience difficulties.
Especially the tool "hide rest of the Model" won`t work any longer.
Anybody any idea how to fix this ??
Thanks for looking into it

Hello there,
I am working on construction-demolition plans for a remodeling project.
According to planning requirements it is necessary to indicate demolished building substance like this

outlinestyle : ────x────x────x────x────x────
Color : black
filling : yellow

Is it possible to create such a linestyle for SU or LO

thanks for your comments
Uli

Hi David, thanks for looking into this matter, sorry for my late response - I was kept up with some other project.
Today I picked up on some elevation drawings again and tried your work around.

• for unknown reasons I can't get it to work.
  When the north Elevation shows the right shadow, the south elevation has none at all and wise versa.
  Grüße to the US

Hope this helps, Schoene Gruesse nach Deutschland

Cheers David

Hi Tig thanks for your efforts to build this plugin.
I am wondering if it is possible to store the 45 degree shadows with each Scene?
Jim wrote a plugin called "North Angle Animator"
Now here is what i have in mind:

1. set the shadow using Elev45Shadows plugin
2. aktivate North Angle Animator plugin and store the northangel setting to the scene

Do you think that would be possible?
thanks for looking into this matter
Uli

Hi Jim
Iam using your plugin since quite some time.
Since it is often quite tedious to get the right shadow on differently oriented Fassades, I also use Tigs "45 Degree Shadows for Elevation"
Now here is what would be of great help:

1. set the shadow using the Tigs 45 Degree plugin
2. aktivate your plugin and store the northangel setting to the scene
   Do you think that would be possible?
   thanks for looking into this matter

Hello TIG, oh yes, the perimeter does work superb now
I just didn't get it right the first time - my fault- I`am awfully sorry
in Terms of changing the texblock it's not too much work either if one copy /paste the text string and then just change the names
[highlight=#ffff40:22w4wmcs]Entrance[/highlight:22w4wmcs]\n[highlight=#ffff00:22w4wmcs]Tile[/highlight:22w4wmcs]\n<>\n||

using arrow keys to move inside the editing-textbox works fine

thanks a lot for your great work and support
Ulrich

Hello TIG, thanks so much for such good work.
You're right - I mean 'perimeter', not 'circumference'
I tried your advice using a new-line marker and I got what I was looking for.
A small drawback seems to be, that the editing-textbox is very small and one can`t see the hole text string.
Another issue is that the 'perimeter' doesn't get updated if the area changes (which happens quite frequently).

How could I help to recode this? - let me know if there way.

Anyways, thanks a lot for your work
I really appreciate
Ulrich

Hello TIG
I am in need of some additional Information on my plans. So I come back to my question from 2015:
Is it possible to have a multi line Text-Tag, possibly with alignment Options (left/right/center) ?
For instance :

Name 1 Entrance
Name 2 Tiles
Area 25 m²
Circumference 20 m

Thanks for looking into it
Uli

everything is shiny again
Thanks Tig,I appreciate
Ulrich

Hello Tig
thanks so much for your fast response
I which I could help but unfortunately this is not my Cup of tea.
Anyways, thanks a lot
Ulrich

Hello Tig,
these Area Tex Tags are great - thanks for offering this plugin.
After installing SU 2017 they won`t work anymore and I am in trouble.
Do you have a chance to look into this ?
Thanks already
Ulrich

Hello Jim
A couple of days ago I posted a request for a plugin that would import measurements directly from a 3D Laser "Leica Disto S910 " in order to draw direct on site.

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=64830%26amp;p=594596#p594596

Could your plugin be developed to do the Job ?
Thanks for your response
Uli
